it's you

CHAPTER 3
Alex's POV
I speed walk out of calculus in a hurry. Finally, it's the end of the day and I'm going to Sebastian's to work on the biology project. I turn the corner at the end of the hall to see Sebastian leaning against my locker on his phone.

I walk towards him and he looks up from his screen and waves at me. He has this huge smile on his face as if he's genuinely happy to see me. He's always been a really positive, happy guy. The type of person you always wanna be around.

"So my car's this way." He says leading me towards the parking lot. We get out there and he walks towards this absolutely gorgeous Mercedes. My jaw literally drops to the ground. It's a gorgeous baby blue and is honestly my dream car.

"First off, How loaded are you?! And second can I drive?" I ask knowing what the answer to the second question is probably going to be.

"Well my dad is an actor and my mom's a politician. They got me it for my birthday a few months ago. Also no, you can't drive it. Selena is my prized possession, but are you just gonna stand there or are you gonna get in." He opens the door to the passengers seat for me and I get inside making myself comfortable, even though it would be difficult not to be comfortable in a car like this. Also, his car has a name. Cool.

"Selena! Seriously?" I snort as he gets inside.

"What's wrong with Selena, jeez Alex I never took you for the jugdy type." He says and I just giggle.

"You know what, you do you Seb." I just say closing my eyes as I hear Sebastian start to drive off of school grounds. It takes about 25 minutes before the car stops and we arrive to the legitimate mansion that Sebastian has the honor of calling his house. It's absolutely insane and very modern. He leads me inside and we're greeted by a woman in her 40s and a man around the same age. It's not his parents. I think the woman is the maid and the man is their butler.

Of course he has a butler.

"Hello Sir. Madame, how do you do?" The butler asks extending his hand. We shake hands and he smiles widely. The man has a French accent. I then shake the woman's hand.

"I'm very well thank you. And you?" I reply politely.

"Oh we're good dear" the lady says. Her accent is Australian I noted.

Seb pushes my back lightly. "How about we work on the project in my room. See you later Nancy. Salut Francois." He says and leads me towards an elevator that's placed in between two giant curved staircases.

"So those two are your maid and butler?" I try to make small talk as we get in the elevator.

"Yeah, they're the best. They're the sweetest couple, their daughter lives here with us actually. You'd love her, she's really sweet." He says and I'm not surprised. The two looked so in love, then again what do I know about love.

"That's nice, I look forward to meeting her." I say with regards to their daughter. The elevator arrives at the 3rd floor. We get out and Seb leads me to what I assume is his room. His room is like my room times 4. It's seriously unfair how perfect his life is.

"Get comfortable Lex. Mi casa es su casa." He says taking a seat at his huge desk with a computer that has three monitors. He logs in and opens a document. I sit on the chair beside him and we work on the project. Everything's going fine and we actually get a lot done.

"Hey wanna take a break? We've been at it for two hours straight. I can ask Nancy about dinner and you can stay over." Sebastian suggests once we're done all the research.

I really wanted to stay. I didn't want to be home right now, plus this could be my chance to really get to know Sebastian Adler.

"Sure, why not, I bet we could probably finish this all tonight and not have to worry about it next week." I say way too eagerly.

"All right! Be right back." Sebastian says leaving the room and I start to work out the layout for our presentation while he's gone. I hear the door open.

"Hey dude, the legend is back." I hear a male voice yell, but it's deeper than Sebastian's, and smoother. I drop my pencil and turn in my seat to see a shirtless guy closing the door. His back is to me and I don't think he's actually looked inside the room to see if Sebastian was in here.

The stranger turns around and I'm left speechless. I didn't think it was possible but this guy is better looking than Sebastian.

He has messy brown hair and the most captivating grey-blue eyes. His body is perfectly toned. His nose is similar to Seb's and his lips look so soft and smooth. How come guys have such nice lips? They don't even exfoliate for crying out loud! He had clearly just gotten out of the shower because his hair was dripping wet. Okay why is everything in this damn mansion perfect.

There's something so familiar about him though.

"So you're definitely not Sebastian." The guy who I'm going to call "god-bod" says. He looks really shocked to see me, as if he knows who I am. Trust me I definitely have never met him. A person like that is not easily forgotten.

"Uh... I'm Alexandria—Alex and um Sebastian and I were... just working on a project. I think he... Uh ...went downstairs." I say sounding like an idiot. He's making it difficult for me to talk... or breathe.

"That's fine. I guess I'll just wait for him to come back here. I'm Jeremy by the way." He says, extending his hand for a shake. As soon as our hands meet I feel electrified. I tell myself that I'm naturally just finding him attractive, but I feel something more, something I've never felt before. I choose to ignore it.

"Are you a friend of Seb's? or..." I ask trying not to be rude to Jeremy.

"Uh I'm his half brother actually. I've been in Europe for the past 4 years so that's probably why you haven't seen me around." The gorgeous specimen before me says. I'm honestly shocked. I had no idea Sebastian had a brother. "I actually just got here a few hours ago and decided to surprise Seb after working out." Jeremy walks towards Seb's closet to grab one of his T-shirts. I am relieved because it was difficult not to look at those abs.

"Europe? Really? I've always wanted to go. If you don't mind me asking, what were you there for?"  I ask genuinely interested in knowing more about him.

"Studying. Modeling. Adventuring. It's really nice. You should go if you ever get the chance." Jeremy says smiling an authentic, breath taking smile.

"It's on my bucket list." I admit smiling shyly. "So you model? What am I saying, of course you do!" My eyes widen. Did I just say that out loud?!

Stupid Alex...stupid, stupid Alex.

I blush bright red. What are these Adler guys doing to me? I never blushed before talking to them. Stupid hormones. I look up at Jeremy to see him shocked, amused and another emotion I can't quite place. Just as he's about to reply he's tackled to the ground.

"Jer Bear!" I hear Sebastian yell as it happens. They're now both on the ground laughing and hugging. I feel really uncomfortable interfering with this rekindling moment.

"I think I should go. You guys probably have a lot to catch up on." I say getting up and grabbing my bag from the desk.

The boys both instantly stop and shoot up from their position on the floor. "Don't go. Nancy's preparing dinner and my parents are coming home. They'll probably love having you over for dinner." Sebastian said insisting I stay.

"Yeah, Alex. We don't have anything to catch up on, we face timed all the time while I was gone." Jeremy said.

"Well, if it's okay with you guys, I guess I'll stay." I say honestly eager to stay. I'm better off here than at home.

They're faces light up instantly.
